Life after the passing of Queen Elizabeth:
The whole country was shocked. The country went into almost instant mourning. Since then, King Charles has taken over, although he has not had his coronation yet. It will happen on May 8th, 2023.
The Tower Bridge and The London Bridge are two big tourist attractions. The London Tower is a major attraction. It’s an old prison where the crown jewels are kept. The Thames River is a big river they have. Buckingham Palace, the London Eye, and the Big Ben Tower are also big attractions.
There is food from all over the world. They mostly eat sausage, eggs, and baked beans. A big difference between the United States and England is that soccer is called “football.” Rugby and Cricket are also very popular sports. The misconception of not caring for teeth isn’t true. The UK has primary school (elementary school), secondary school (6th-10th), and college (11th+12th) then go to a uni (our college). They call the subway “the tube.”
The holidays are mainly the same, but there is an additional holiday the day after Christmas. It is called “Boxing Day.” There are wild foxes and rats that roam the city. The two main religions are Christianity and Islam. However, London is very diverse in cultures and religions. “Hiya” is commonly used for greetings. In London they don’t say “trash” or “trash can” they say “rubbish” and “rubbish bin.” You can’t drive in London until you are 18 instead of 16.
